Errata: Oops! Mistakes, Blunders and Miscalculations...

I try very hard not to make mistakes and to put out a good product. I have multiple people look at my patterns and use an editor. But sometimes we miss things! My apologies to anyone trying to figure out a mistake in a pattern! I've listed errors we've found here. It goes in order with the newest patterns released on top and older ones further down. Many thanks to the people who have let me know of issues and their helpful attitudes! When I reprint a pattern the corrections are made in the booklet but in case you have a first printing...
RAINING LOVE ON YOU
Yikes! Yardage needed for background is only 3 1/8 yard and NOT 4 1/8 yard! My apologies. It is never my intention to make people buy more fabric than necessary for a project. You only need 3 1/8 yard of background material to make the quilt. You can you leftover material to make the optional pillow. 
CROSS STITCH - MODERN BEACH HOUSE 2
Floss conversion for Cosmo to DMC should be corrected. Cosmo 117 light green converts to DMC 3348 light green (not 3848)
CROSS STITCH - BLOOMING SKIES
​The sunshine in the chart has a few revisions. The bottom square on the lower left angled ray should be in the ray above for symmetry. Also the right upper and lower small angled rays move over one space to line up evenly like the other sides (so they move over one square). This is the corrected placement with black drawings showing what moved.

CROSS STITCH- PINE CROSSING
The first printing of Pine Crossing lists DMC color 966 as a needed floss but it is NOT in the chart. I inadvertently left it in the floss list after making some revisions. So sorry if you have hunted for it in the chart and now have an extra floss with nowhere to go. Guess I need to design something to use up all the extra 966 I have as well. My apologies. ​
CROSS STITCH- SEASONAL COURIER: BLACKBIRD'S AUTUMN
The cover image printed lighter on the pumpkin so it looks more gold but DMC 741 IS the color I used. The green triangle above the star on the upper left is charted as 733 but is actually stitched on the model in 988. Use whichever you like! And the light gray of the bird's wing should actually be 646 instead of 647. Sorry about those!
LEAF PRESS
On page 6, for Stem of Big Aspen Leaf, it says to cut“(2) 2 x 1 of Fabric B” in the blue box. The diagram shows 3 x 1" pieces and the DIAGRAM is correct. You should be using (2) 3" x 1" pieces. 
LITTLE POSY WREATH
​Not an error, but a notation: In Little Posy Wreath, all directions are shown with the RED background colorway, regardless of size. If you are making the cream background version in the larger size, you will want red fabrics for your flowers at the top of page 3 (page 4 on pdf) and probably want lighter Body Corners that go with the cream background (the two 10 x 10" squares, also shown on page 3). Please refer to the last page of the pattern for color references. 
CONSTANCE
If you are making a LAP quilt, the page 9 directions for making the outer borders has a couple typos/errors. Please use this instead:

Picture
EMILIA
On the original version of EMILIA (the pattern with PURPLE quilt on cover) it says 4" triangles on page 4. That should say 4" squares.
​
Picture
BACKSLASH
On page 3 of BACKSLASH for the cutting directions on the QUEEN size, middle paragraph, it should say " From the other (20) 1 1/2: WOF strips," not (12).
Picture

RING AROUND THE POSIES
Page 5- Top of page MAKE LARGE FLOWERS... the information in the written directions is correct, however the diagram image shows large flower background strip as 4.5 x 2.5" when it is really 4.5 x 1.5". This is the wrong size on diagram...SHOULD read 4.5 x 1.5" . This is being corrected in the second printing. Thanks Debbie Thomas for catching this!
Picture

SIMPLE SOLSTICE
On page 3, the third line down, the number for 7 1/4" squares for the LARGE QUILT should be (12), not (48).
Picture

BIRD TALK If you are making the optional leaf border, you only need to cut (2) of the 10 x 24 1/2" and (2) of the 10 x 8 1/2" rectangles of the BORDER BACKGROUND FABRIC (instead of 4 each). As a result you only need 2 2/3 Yards (two and two/thirds)  of the BORDER BACKGROUND FABRIC.
Correction to the layout diagram on page 2. The cutting directions on the left hand side says to to cut (7) WOF strips 2 1/2" wide and subcut: (4) 14" x 2 1/2" (this is correct) - the layout says 13 1/2" x 2 1/2" (this is incorrect, should be 14" x 2 1/2")

JUBILANT SONG
Revised 11.16.2021
Page 2 cutting, add 1/2 to the following strips:
​
When cutting the 10 x 1 1/4” strips from both Background Fabric and Fabric E, make the length 10 1/2” (so 10 1/2 x 1 1/4”)
When cutting the 25 x 1 1/4” strips from Fabric E, make the length 25 1/2” (so 25 1/2 x 1 1/4”)
When cutting the 25 x 1 3/4” strips from Background Fabric, make the length 25 1/2” (so 25 1/2 x 1 3/4”)

Picture
Page 3, The 2 3/4" squares are from fabric F and the 1 5/8" squares are from the background fabric.
Picture

SHOWERING STARS CORRECTION: Total quilt size is 75" x 90". And when assembling the quilt top, please line up Column A with the star arms meeting the patchwork body. Your Column A will be a little longer at the top and need to be trimmed 1/2" to line up with the rest of the top. So sorry for the confusion. Sometimes my brain works in un-Quilterly ways...sigh...
Picture

CARDINALS CHRISTMAS WREATH for the SMALL quilt - the border rectangles that are small should measure 5 x 3 7/8" (pages 2 and 8).
On page 4 the squares are 2 RED and 2 background fabrics.
Picture

FARMHOUSE CROSSING Quilt Pattern. For all sizes, the diagram on the top of page 4 was wrong for some block placements. This is the correct placement. Also if you are making the LAP size, you will make your HST for the centers with the two at a time method, using 5" squares. If you have enough fabric to cut an extra 7 1/4" square of fabric N, you can stay with the four at a time method.
Picture

TOWARDS THE SUN Quilt Pattern. If you are making Towards the Sun using the color/fabric specs for the gray and pink version, FABRIC C is Dandi Annie Dandelion Dance in Petal (the peachy color) and FABRIC D is Dandi Annie Dandelion Dance in Pebble (light gray).
Picture

FRINGE QUILT PATTERN using Dandi Annie
On page 5 please adjust the measurements to cut your rows of sashing to include the fractions listed below:

For TWIN cut (15) 68½” strips, ALT. TWIN cut (12) 65¼” strips 
and for LAP cut (9) 53¾” strips.

FARMHOUSE CROSSING Quilt Pattern using Dandi Annie.
If you are using the Dandi Annie fabrics, the SKU number for "Woven Texture Maize" is listed incorrectly on the back and page 1. The CORRECT SKU is 48626-28 (not 636)
​

STARLET QUILT PATTERN using DEAR MUM. 
Clarification if you are making the SMALL size quilt. On page 8 it indicates making the borders according to the larger size. For the small size you will assemble the rectangles and HST units to make the right side border using 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles and 2.5" squares and the HSTs. The border should measure 24.5". This border is sewn onto the quilt body first. 

Then assemble remaining 2.5" squares, rectangles and HST in order shown to make the top border. The border should measure 26.5".
​Attached is an image which shows the clarification:
Picture

TOKYO TERRACE QUILT PATTERN (the original Blushing Peonies pattern- corrected in Dear Mum version): Couple of mistakes...
Size of Twin Quilt is 72" x 90" and not 72" x 92".
On page 3 at bottom of page it says to sew the 72.5 x 16.5" panel...should be a 72.5 x 18.5" panel.
For pink version, the colors spec'd are reversed for Print B and C. Print B on the pink version is the Pollen Dance print. Print C on the pink version is the Swirls in Petal color.
On page 3 the sizes indicated are the cut sizes, not the finished sizes.
